Why Listen?
There are hundreds of active gaming podcasts to choose from. Why choose OiO?
- We’re Independent: publishers and news outlets usually host gaming podcasts. We are passionate nerds debating our favorite games and shows.
- Generation-Spanning: If you’re looking for the latest gaming news, there are better options. If you want a mix of current games and iconic media from our youth, you’re in the right place.
- Mixed Media: Our themed shows tie mixed media together. For the Mars episode we covered the board game “Terraforming Mars,” the book “Stranger in a Strange Land” and the movie “Total Recall.”
- Active Community: We invite all listeners to be a part of the community. Whether that’s writing in with a question, joining our discord or posting on our facebook page, you’ll never have to pay to “make the show better.”
When Does Each Episode Release?
The main show appears in your podcast feed on the first of each month. The exclusive content “Tom and Joey Unfiltered” also drops on the first of the month on Patreon. “OiO Game Club” releases near the middle of each month.
Support Our Gaming Podcast
OiO is a passion project. It scratches Tom’s itch to perform and brings value to his passion for gaming. As independent content creators, there are no corporate overlords to foot the bill.
We’re not a big enough outlet to warrant review codes for games. When we discuss a big new game like “God of War Ragnarok” OiO is on the hook for three copies, one for each host. In addition, we’ve purchased equipment and paid for a podcast hosting feed. We don’t currently pay hosts for their time, outside of purchasing the media consumed for the show.
Beyond the pride and good karma associated with backing independent content creators, there are three benefits for our Patreon supporters. First, all supporters receive an invitation to our annual podcast party. The party includes a giveaway for each patron and other prizes. Second, we invite all patrons to participate in our monthly Game Club discussion. Finally, all supporters at $10 or more get an exclusive extra monthly podcast.
